QuoteThe annual Florida-Georgia game provided a noticeable boost this year, generating $35 million in 2015.
The economic impact represents a year-over-year increase of $2 million, and attracted 140,000 tourists over the weekend at the end of October.

To all the naysayers about the game being played in Jacksonville, I say the proof is in the pudding, err, dollars!
And, that $115 will save Jacksonville from financial ruin. - Mayor John Peyton

"This is a game-changer. This is what I mean when I say taking Jacksonville to the next level."
-Mayor Alvin Brown on new video boards at Everbank Field

It would be a shame to lose it.
